✅Check this out! #Maine’s race for 2nd Congressional District will be decided by ranked voting because no candidate has 50% of the vote yet.

🔥But incumbent Bruce Poliquin & the GOP are making similar claims to #Florida Governor Rick Scott: that the SOS “mishandled ballots.”

#Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap criticized Poliquin’s campaign, saying those comments could lead to voters losing confidence in the voting system.

Ranked voting results are expected mid-week & #Democrat Jared Golden @golden4congress could win.

ℹ️This is explains the ranked voting system. #Maine is the first state to use it.

💥And an Election Day poll said that Jared Golden would get 93% of the independent candidates’ votes.

These are the latest results on Maine’s 2nd Congressional District. First, William Hoar’s votes will be redistributed according to their rankings assigned by each voter

If there is still no candidate with 50% of the vote after that, the same will happen with Tiffany Bond’s votes

#Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap’s twitter response to Poliquin’s charges.

🗣SOS Dunlap’s quote from the @sunjournal: “I feel like I should reach out to the campaign and say, ‘Let us do our work before you assume there is something nefarious happening.’ It could get people thinking there is something wrong.”

#Maine SOS Dunlap’s explanation continues:

🗣#Maine SOS Dunlap: “Rather than ask questions, they are going to the media. My entire stock in trade here is based not on the outcome of the election but on voter confidence. I am pretty frustrated by this.”

🔥🔥Trump, Scott, Poliquin🔽

💥All go to the media with dangerous accusations about voter fraud & no facts to back them up.
